I would still kill for cheap American power and Gasoline, you guys got it made on those items,,,,, at least as a outsider looking from over here.

I got CCFL in my bathroom, the kitchen also have under cupboards CCFL but i never use those, only light i have in the kitchen are what filter thru the 1.5 X 3 foot opaque glass in the wall between kitchen and bathroom.
And which are plenty for me to do what little i do in the kitchen night or day.
0 light in my bedroom, other than my flashlight i do use when it is very dark and i look for something, but otherwise my bed i can find with no light even in the darkest winter days.
2 x 15 W LED in my living room and 1 X 9 W LED in my computer table lamp.
I don't turn on the stairwell light when i leave my apartment, it have plenty of glass and there is a street light right outside + in relation to bright / darkness my eyes still work just fine.
Same go for the back stairwell most times of the day or year, but in the very darkest days of winter i do use the light there when i go do my laundry in the basement, cuz it have smaller windows and no street light in the back yard.
What is included in my rent of heating and power just about cover what i use, so every year in January i get a slightly higher rent to pay for the difference.
A normal user / family would be hit much harder on the heating / power i am sure, i have only had my heating on for a few hours in 7 days or so over this winter, and only in the living room, bedroom - kitchen and bathroom are not something i heat.
